Nope, 3 minute OT with stop clock. Its a major tournament here with good teams and good officials (management that backs us up).

But, team A's coach continued to misbehave before OT started and earned his ticket out the door with another T. Since he had no assistant and therefore the team had no coach, I ruled the game a forfeit. Not sure what rule to reference there (except maybe the one about making a travesty of the game) but I was not going to wait for some parent to come down out of the balcony to take over. We had already delayed at least 10 minutes by his antics. Its also why a team should have at least two adults sitting on the bench!

Plus, our next game was a 47 - 6 blowout and we started running the clock in the first half. It was an easy money game with no problems.
